didn\u2019t like what he heard<\/a>. He said so after the game.<\/p>\nMeeting with reporters on Monday, Kraft changed his tune. A bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not gonna add anymore to the booing,\u201d Kraft said, via Kyle Malzhan of WFRV. \u201cYou know, in hindsight, we were out there on the field not doing the greatest. You know, we\u2019re out there, busting our tails, trying to make every play come to life, one play at a time. That\u2019s our mindset. I understand a lot of people spent time and resources to be there at the game. Wish it would have been a better outcome. Everyone in the locker room wished it would have been a better outcome. Like I said, when I was referring in the past to disappointment, I\u2019m talking about from the day overall, not just from the fans. Obviously, the fans are out there, and Christian [Watson] put it the best, like, this is an entertainment business. We gotta go out there and put a better product on display. So, you know, people are happier when they\u2019re heading to their cars after the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kraft\u2019s overall reaction from the fans came from the fact that he\u2019s as invested in the franchise as they are.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans that really care about us and, you know, our roots in Green Bay,\u201d Kraft said. \u201cLike I consider myself a Wisconsinite at this point. Green Bay is the largest city I\u2019ve ever lived in. I live here year-round, you know, and so I have, you know, just as much pride in stake in this team and organization [as] anyone else does. I take it personal. Every dig that the Packers get, you know, because this is my team. I love this team. So tuning out all that stuff, like I said, easy for me. I don\u2019t take things personal. I understand. Emotions get people, and had we gone out there and flipped \u2014 we didn\u2019t \u2014 but had we gone out there and flipped the score, people would have been saying emotional things to Atlanta Falcons. I don\u2019t know. You know, it\u2019s just a bunch of games of if, ands, or butts, and bottom line is, we gotta go out there and execute better.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the beauty of sports. For every game, there\u2019s a winner and a loser. There are good teams and bad teams. Some fans are happy, other fans are pissed.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the way it goes, every single year. Whether it\u2019s \u201cthis is the year\u201d or \u201cwait \u2018til next year,\u201d half the fan bases are happy after a given game, and half the fan bases aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
In the end, only one fan base is thrilled \u2014 and the other 31 are hoping that the ultimate thrill is only a year away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green Bay Packers fans didn\u2019t like what they saw on Thursday night.
